Vyacheslav Vasilievich Sazonov (Вячеслав Васильевич Сазонов, born August 25, 1935, Moscow – February 3, 2002, Moscow)Сазонов Вячеслав Васильевич, letopsis.msu.ru was a Soviet-Russian mathematician, specializing in probability and measure theory. He is known for Sazonov's theorem.
Education and career In 1958 he graduated from Moscow State University. There he received in 1961 his Ph.D. under Yuri Prokhorov with thesis "Распределения вероятностей и характеристические функционалы" (Probability distributions and characteristic functionals). Sazonov worked in the Steklov Institute of Mathematics from 1958 to 2002. In 1968 he received his Russian doctorate of sciences (Doctor Nauk) with thesis "Исследования по многомерным и бесконечномерным предельным теоремам теории вероятностей" (Investigations of multidimensional, infinite-dimensional and limit theorems of the theory of probabilities). In 1970 he was an Invited Speaker at the ICM in Nice.Sazonov, V. V. "Sur les estimations de la rapidité de convergence dans le théoreme limite central (cas de dimension finie et infinie)." In Actes, Congrès intern. Math., Tome 2, pp. 577–588. 1970. In 1971 he was awarded the academic title of Professor in Mathematics and became a member of the CPSU. From 1971 to 1999, he was a professor in the Department of Mathematical Statistics, Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, Moscow State University. Professor Sazonov has been deputy editor-in-chief of the journal Theory of Probability and Its Applications for about two decades.
Awards USSR State Prize (1979, jointly with Aleksandr A. Borovkov and V. Statulevičius) for a series of works on asymptotic methods in the theory of probability.
